steve bain Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 hey guys, i have real problem which i need to get sorted tonight. basically i d-locked my bike up. when i come back to it there is now a second d-lock on it. i'm pretty sure it is because the person who put the d-lock on has every intention of coming back tonight to nick it, or at least nick everything off of it! so what do i do? how can i cut off their d-lock? i was thinking of just stripping it right back so only the frame is left and then putting some more locks on it so hopefully it will last till the morning. i would angle grind it off but it is not at home so have no electric. any help is as ever much appreciated. steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boon racoon Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 hide within watching distance of said bike, then run out and give them a good shoeing.otherwise, no idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poopipe Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 first haaahahaaa!!second. depending on the lock you might be able to lever it apart if you slip a length of scaffolding pole over the end and yank it really hard - it works almost instantly on shit ones. otherwise you'll be needing a grinder. don't forget to take the key for your lock with you or you'll be asked to accompany the nice man inthe blue suit to the police station to answer some awkward questions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hugh_b Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 hey bud try this, either get some bolt croppers off a mate or if you have some or...this is gona sound crazy but does work: get a car jack put it between the lock, keep jakin it up and up as hard as you can-eventually bang the lock will break. cheers-Hughoww and once you have jacked it right up give it a heft smack with a hammer. cheers-hugh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixed Pants™ Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 HHS - Hire Something Sharp, bolt cutters (f**k off big arse ones) or a petrol angle grinder. Pick lock (can be made in a couple of mins, youtube 'how to make a pick lock' and there should be a tutorial 21 mins long, watch it, make one and do some tootin' pickin'. Hammer - twat the f**k out of it. Hacksaw. fat 10 metre long chain + tow bar on a car + (VERY heavy duty)pad lock (padlock chain to d lock, chain to tow bar and give it some mother f**king revs. What's it d locked to? What part of the bike? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavyn. Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 (edited) sledge hammer and chisel you hit the side which locks and the pin snaps it works on big padlocks so it should work for you or hire a battery powered grinder and cut it off Edited March 1, 2007 by Gavyn L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicH_87 Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 sledge hammer and chisel you hit the side which locks and the pin snaps it works on big padlocks so it should work for you or hire a battery powered grinder and cut it offno offence but you'd have to be pretty f**king immense with a sledge hammer to hit a d-lock that's around your bike without royally f**king it over in some way.how'd it go anyway? i wonder if the dude's in jail.

Mr Motivator Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 Get an angle grinder, a 12v - 230v inverter, an extension lead and a mate with a car.Park up as close as possible to your bike, plug the inverter in the fag socket with the engine running, wind out the extension lead, plug in the grinder with a cutting disk and cut that lock off.Sounds a little schoolboy, but its probably the way I would actually do it if it was my bike.

Greetings Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 Get an angle grinder, a 12v - 230v inverter, an extension lead and a mate with a car.Actually there's a vid up on the net where some guys in new york lock their bike to poles and then "steal" it in various ways to see how the public reacts. They did in fact use an angle grinder on one occasion, connected it to a traffic lights box or something similar, put all the safety gear on (gloves, goggles) and cut the lock open. Nobody took interest in what was happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavyn. Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 people can be so dum sometimes just because there wearing safety clothes doesn't mean they should be there! a guy i know dressed up as a builder and drove away in a jcb lol,dress up as a tree surgeon and cut every treedown in the local park !
